Ornate, 12 shells around the rim (alternating large and small shells), on 3 hoofed feet. Diameter 9". Weight 13-1/4 troy ounces.

I need help with this one. (1)What is the purpose of this form? (I have guessed ring stand). (2) Who is the maker? It is marked METROPOLI/925/STERLING. Oval tray with vertical twist stem - small knob at top. Length 5-58". Width 3-5/8". Weight 3 troy ounces. No monogram. Overall and mark condition are excellent (a few salt spots on the tray).

Marked 925 1000, each in an oval; or perhaps 925 000 with the 000 in an oval with vertical left end (have seen this mark several times before but do not know whose it is). Pointed, downturned handle with floral engraving at the end. Probably has a gold wash on bowl. No monogram. Overall and mark condition are excellent.

bowls, marked only "sterling" and "J.E.Caldwell & Co." To say that these are "highly carved" would be an understatement, and though about a hundred years old they are in essentially new condition. Length five inches, no monogram.
